Based on the Tony Award winning Broadway hit Luv by Murray Schisgal, Love on the Brink is a satirical story about three people who meet unexpectedly one dark night at the edge of the sea. There is Sudipto Bandhopadhya (Bandy), an existentialist intellectual who has sunk so low that he has no future except to jump off into the sea and is about to do so, when Pankaj Chopra (Chops) comes along and intervenes. Chops and Bandy turn out to be college classmates. As Bandy reveals the depth of his despair, Chops confesses that he too is full of frustration, because his wife won’t divorce him so he can marry the woman he loves. Into this, Chops’ wife Amu appears, a beautiful and overeducated woman, and a triangle of the absurd ensues. The play is adapted by Sandhya Divecha and produced and directed by Lillete Dubey. The cast consists of Joy Sengupta, Kumud Mishra and Shivani Tanksale.
Love on the Brink, 6 June, 6:30 pm, (Event duration: 1:30 hrs), Sophia Bhabha Auditorium, Sophia College, Mumbai.
